The plan was presented at a press conference in the of- fice of attorney James A. FitzPatrick, a member of the Physicians Hospital board. Champlain Valley board mem- ber Wayne Byrne joined Fitz- Patrick to explain what has happened so far. * • • Both emphasized that the design shown newsmen is simply one suggested way of satisfying hospital demand in the two counties, as projected 30 years ahead by Block, Mc- Gtbony, Coburn i Associates of Silver Spring. Md., hospital consultants to the two boards. All such demands can be met, the consultants said in their preliminary report, by erecting an 11-story \acute care\ building just east of Physicians Hospital and con- nected to it. The enure complex would have 551 beds, 168 more than are now available in the two existing hospitals. Champlain Valley Hospital would be sold to the State University for ex- pansion of the college here, and the staff of that hdspital would be merged into Physi- cians. • • * Beds in the new and reno- ovated Physicians Hospital JAMES A. FTZTPATRICK buildings, eonsaltants said, should be allocated to areas for specific use—surgical-med- ical (acute) care, obstetrics, pediatrics, intensive care, cor- onary care, psychiatric care and long-term care — rather than be considered available for acute care only. Byrne.said the cost per pa- tient would be cheaper with this arrangement, considered the most practical way of planning hospital space. The specialty services need- ed for the individual needs would be concentrated in the areas where the beds were placed. • • • Until very recent years, hospital patients were treated as \acutely ill,\ while in fact not all of them ever are. WAYNE H. BYRNE A pneumonia patient, a^tnan recovering from a broken leg, a woman in delivery and a psychiatric patient all require different degrees and types of medical attention. The Block, McGibony design allows for those differences; for the most part. the. city hospitals—as they are now organized—don't. One of the major changes in the proposal is the \infirm- ary\ for long-term patients who do not need constant medical attention. • • • Right now, Byrne said, the two hospitals have to assign 50 acute-care beds each day to long-term patients who have no place else to go. The plan would have 130 long-term beds in the reor- ganized hospital. The other bed counts: surgicai-medical 320, obstetrics 21, pediatrics 27, intensive care 10, coron- ary care 5, and psychiatric care 38 The 11-story wing—suggest- ed only in schematic design Thursday afternoon — would have the same height as the existing tower at Physicians Hospital. It would not dis- place any of the major land- scape features of the hospital grounds The curving entrance and ponds would stay, but the oval in front of the building would be taken out FttzPatrick said he under stood it would roughly cost $500,000 per floor to build the new section. Over-all cost for remodelling and construction j is estimated between $8 mil- \ lion and $10 million. That means about half the the cost of the changes will i be for remodelling Physicians • Hospital. A certain amount of the to- tal bill will have to be paid . through a local fund drive, J FitzPatrick said, but it's dif- j ficult to tell how much that i will be right now. | The State University has j agreed to pay $19 million fori the Champlain Valley Hospi-; tal, Byrne said, when the' hospital is ready to move. One third of total construc- tion costs can be paid through federal Hill-Burton Act funds j administered by the State Health Department. Money from the Economic j Development Administration' may also be available, said (Continued on Page 3> ''HP ^ w^i*;^ *?1 w*tfc •!&&' ifcr^w j- *m OPENING SOON rfrarr U/mm^m £*>• * &s z \ X: '-t '#***? ^--J*.. s ~ --w f&*ii *3r- -***&&< I*^Sf J+P-JK: :?£- •*» Sign erected at Skyway Corners Shopping Center Thursday heralds the 1X7 opening of a new department store $500,000 department store slated to open at Skyway Corners in 1967 News in brief Soviets raise military budget Governors crystal-gaze '68 scene WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS.

King's volume of business was about $125 million Uu» year. * « • The chain presently operates 46 discount department stores from Maine to Florida. King's president, Murray A.
